It many ways it feels like it has taken forever for us to get to 2026. In 2026, the landscape shifts from the shedding we’ve been experiencing in previous years to a period of rapid momentum. The energy is going to accelerate to create an exhilarating and dynamic year for us individually and collectively. In many ways it will be the year that changes everything with new cycles, new stories, and new priorities that will change the narrative. The key to navigating this year is trusting our intuition as well as listening to our body’s cues.
After the intensity of the past few months the incoming energies create a grounded start to the new year asking us in this first of the month to prepare for the acceleration that is coming. It is important that we learn to pace ourselves and to truly contemplate what we really want, what changes we need to make, and what new structures we need to build for our lives. This calls for awareness and self-regulation as we may swing between the urge to expand and rush forward, and the need to respect our limits and the demand for preparation.
Be mindful that tomorrow Chiron stations direct and the Full Moon peaks on the 3rd. The close timing of these two events creates a powerful space of integration where clarity can arise. You may be feeling a building tension and pressure with the incoming energies heightening sensitivity and emotions. Allow yourself to be present to what is right now and let go of any rigid notions of how you think things should be. By accepting what is, you create a stable foundation to respond effectively rather than reacting impulsively. From this space you can meet the new year with openness rather than pressure.
Much love
